Im just so depressed, this is the first batch ever that did not come out... I have heard of using nutrients with honey mostly Mead which most people have told me will not work with MB equipment anyway, are nutrients useful for beer too ?

Talking to a few local brewers here they recommend a stronger yeast for this batch. They claim California might be too wimpy for this level of alcohol. Mine turned out ok , slightly sweet to my dismay, but you might want to go with something with a higher Alcohol Tolerance.
Cheers !

Thanks for the advise.
I think Ill give it another day or two then bottle. I just never had a batch that was cloudy after fermentation. All my other batches cleared up quite nicely in the brew keg before I bottled them.

I tried a new recipe, info to follow, 5 cans of malt and WLP001 California Ale Yeast. Should be pretty strong at 11.5%.
There is sediment on the bottom but after fermenting for 2 weeks the wort is still pretty cloudy. Should I give it some more time or add some more yeast ???

Congatulations !!!
Feels good to have a personally crafted recipe come out great doesnt it !
Funny how patience does pay off when dealing with yeast...
Where does the name come from ?
I plan on making all my future brews 10% or better !

Rollie's Bohemian Grand Slam In memorium of Rollie Reid 1928 - 2008. His son and great friend got me started brewing with MrBeer. 4 Grand Bohemian Czech Pilsner
7 oz can fire roasted diced green chiles
(or add a Booster - 10.6%) 9.2% ABV Boil all except Chilies for a few minutes. Put the Chilies in the pot, using tea ball or hop sack, near the end to boil for just a minute or two.
Follow normal instructions. My 9th batch
Started 5/31/2009

I have not tried Pilothouse before. I do like White Labs liquid yeasts. I have Grand Bohemian in the fermenter right now that I brewed with the yeast that came with it - but I used 4 cans so my recipe is a bit stronger than normal. Ill post that recipe later...
Thanks for the tips Hopheads :-)

Sounds like a great beer !!!
I love making strong brews with MrBeer ! According to MrBeer 4 cans malt x 2.3% = 9.2% not 12%.
Did you take gravity readings to get that number ?
Is the Mr beer manual wrong ?
